It's our last Norfolk store tour! We still have about a week of other assorted stores but this is the final store tour. Another smaller Food Lion at just over 30,000 square feet. This one was built in 1998, and has also gotten the latest remodel.
The layout more closely resembles
Little Creek than
Tidewater North, since they're of the same generation, although this one is noticeably smaller. Bakery/deli is to the right when you enter, with produce on the right side wall of the store. Meat/seafood line the back wall, with dairy/frozen on the left. Beer/wine are in the front left corner.
The fixtures here are quite nice, and were likely updated after the store opened.
Notice the slanted back wall. This store has a triangle taken out of the back right corner because of the street that runs behind it.
This is another attractive but unremarkable Food Lion, definitely pleasant to shop in.
And the slanted back wall makes for a slightly strange layout, but it works well enough.
Cold cuts and dairy begin on the back wall, then continue down the last aisle.
One thing we do notice in this store as compared to others is that there's a little less decor on the walls here than some of the others. Makes for some blank empty spaces.
An aisle and a half of frozen, then the last aisle is half frozen and half dairy. Again, we see newer cases here that are probably newer than the store.
Dairy transitions into Beer & Wine in the front corner with more nice fixtures.
And beyond that is a magazine section around customer service, with the registers across the rest of the front.
Tomorrow we have our first and only independent grocer in the Norfolk area about 3/4 of a mile south on
The Independent Edition!
